Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

Thanks @Appleblossom @Maggie @Former-Member

Its no nice being a part of this lovely community. And its the likes of you all which make it the place it is. Hey @Former-Member, I told you you were an intelligent, caring lady ... how caring, sensible and 'right' was all that you just wrote. Thanks heaps. And yes, when I say my BIL, it is in fact my husbands youngest brother. And @Appleblossom - I so love those flowers, and flowers always remind me of Mum.

At present I keep thinking about all the death dying and sickness which seems to have surrounded me over the past few years and even more so the last few months. My young niece, a close friend (only friend really), my unborn niece, my Mum. And now my BIL. We live opposite sides of the country to my BIL, but we spoke every day. It seems unreal that he is now dying. I only spoke to him the day before he was rushed to hospital after suffering a fall and lying on the ground half the day and night.

Life and death is so unfair. It keeps entering my head ... why them? Why not me ... after all, its me who doesnt want to be here. Its almost as if I am here at their expense. So unfair.

Oops everyone is posting while I was writing my last post. Not literally. 😔

@Shaz51... I'm sorry that happened to your Dad and I'm sorry this brought sad memories to you. My apologies.

@Molliex... @BlueBay .. I know you both know what this is like. The waiting.  How are your respective loved ones going?

Unfortunately this is so much the same as with my Mum in July. Distance and being needed here meaning I could not be there for her before she died. Now similar with my BIL ... distance and hubbys illness preventing us being there. So hard.

@Former-Member  I don’t know the answers to any of the questions. The longer I live, the less I seem to know. More questions for me than answers.

Survivor's guilt can be a trick of the mind.  My dad had it, then I had it.  It is hard when we cannot do anything and feel helpless.

I met a beautiful lady yesterday buying icecream in the supermarket.  She was battling 2 cancers, but it was inspiring to meet her while doing a mundane thing.

LIFE and DEATH.

I visited my dad and sister's grave today whilst I was in the city after the audition.  I used to go to the cemetery a lot, then thought I was too obssessed, and stoppped  Its been a few years now.

 

Take Care

@Former-Member I'm so sorry to hear about your brother in law. I'm really glad that you've got some support from the other members here. I have sent you an email just to check in that you're ok with all that has gone on recently. Take care. 

 

 

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

Thanks for thinking of me @Former-Member, especially when you have so much going on.

My grandmother will go into palliative care on Tuesday. It will be days or weeks, but not months. 🦋
